bread upma recipe | south indian bread upma recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. a simple, easy and tasty snack recipe which can also be served as a breakfast recipe. basically bread masala upma is prepared from left over bread which involves toasting of bread and then frying it with other spices and vegetables.
i had actually bought these sandwich breads so that i can prepare veg sandwich or bombay sandwich. however, for some reason, i was occupied with other recipes and i forgot to cook those. meanwhile, the bread slices were about to expire and i had to finish them quickly. i was running out of recipes, and i asked my husband who suggested me bread masala. but i had already shared this recipe, hence i wanted something new. fortunately i got this idea to prepare bread upma for my breakfast as a bachelors recipe and somehow i managed to finish it.
while the preparation is extremely simple, some important steps for a perfect bread upma recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend to toast the bread first and then fry them with spices and veggies. otherwise, the bread slices may turn soggy and spongy. secondly, the recipe can be improvised further by adding veggies like green peas, beans and even broccoli. lastly, as an alternative, add maggie hot and sweet tomato sauce instead of tomatoes to make it more spicy and sweet bread upma.
finally, i would like to highlight my other snacks recipes collection with this post. this includes, spring dosa, aloo chat, chilli cheese toast, veg frankie, khandvi, hara bhara kabab, rava dhokla, paneer kathi roll and onion samosa recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection like,

Wow superb
thanks akhil
Wonderful snack.. My 4yr old nephew loved it!!
Thanks Sruthi
Hi…Very clear procedures. .
Thanks for the wonderful recipes
Thanks a lot 🙂
That’s great dish. i have not tried yet. i don’t have toaster. if i roast it on tava the bread gets softer due to residual oil in it. so what to do.
i check for new impressive recipe every day in this site. Do you mind if i ask you to put ade dosa recipe. Please confirm if fermentation is required or we can go straight. i hear both. but i am not sure which is correct.
regards
hello ravi, roast or toast the bread in tawa without oil. it should remain crisp. i will try to post the ade dosa soon.
plzz hindi me recipi likhe zaruri nahi har kisiko English aati ho plzzz
Hello Hiten, mera hindi itna achha nahi hai. But mai zaroor koshish karonga isko hindi mai likhne ke liye.
can be made this using a brown bread or a multigrain bread
sandwich bread or white bread is ideal. but you can also use brown bread but not multigrain bread
